1. Thanks
Subject: Re: "Brit-Am Now"-76
Thanks for this Yair. It was wonderful
and the OODLES of scripture
references all in one place in a condensed
article show the LARGE extent
of substantiated agreement between
the identities of the nations proposed
as fulfilling scriptural prophecy and
what the facts of history and
current events are.

2. Indians of North America
From: Hal Armes
Subject: Re: "Brit-Am Now"-75
To add to the point about the Indians
of North America and their ties with
Asians, many Indians had religious
festivals almost identical to those of
the Torah, however, the Yahi Indians
of southern California commonly used
the expression of alarm "ai-yah!!!"
which is also common among some Chinese
peoples as an expression of alarm.
At the same time they also had festivals
similar to those of the the Torah,
esp. Succoth, and their word for "man"
was "ishi" which is also "man" a Hebrew
dialect, Aramaic if I remember
correctly. A tie with the Asians is
quite obvious, but some Hebrew
influence among the Indians of the
Americas is also quite obvious.

Answers by Yair Davidiy:
a. I am not a Rabbi.
b. I consider myself an Orthodox Jew.
c. We have done research concerning
the Lost Ten Tribes, have reached
conclusions, and are continuing to
confirm the results achieved.
d. We say that the Lost Ten Tribes
moved to West Europe and the British
Isles. The emphasis is on the places
they went to.
There are hinted descriptions in the
Bible (Tanach) concerning the religion
of these people towards the end times
that indicate Christianity. This is
an incidental subsidiary point and not
necessarily an aspect we would emphasize.
Nevertheless I am forwarding to you
a chapter from our book "Ephraim" that
explains our point of view on this
matter.

5. Questions on Religion
Several people have sent me queries
on religion:
Some want to convert me to their own
creeds, others debate with me on
matters of interpretation, still others
seek information and guidance.
I, or Rabbi Feld, may or may not eventually
answer these letters.
I consider myself committed to spreading
the truth concerning the Lost Ten
Tribes and their present-day whereabouts.
All other fields are not really what
I am here for, in my opinion.
Nevertheless, most of the people who
send in these questions etc deserve an
answer so if I can supply one I will
do so.
If it happens that I do not do so,
or that such a letter is put aside or
overlooked, please do not be offended.
I consider myself an orthodox Jew and
am so identified and present Brit-Am
beliefs from my own perspective.
Even so, the emphasis in my opinion
should be on Brit-Am beliefs.
If other questions are considered more
important than inquiries etc should
be addressed to those who specialize
in the relevant fields.
